~Family Perspective~

Today’s gospel is a job description for Christian parents.
For most people the most influential shepherd in their lives is a parent.
Every parent is called to be a “good shepherd”
to “freely lay down their life” for their children,
to “love” and “know” their children
and to “lead” them so “they know your voice.”

~Marriage Moments~

Earth Day is April 22. This year April 22 is also the first day of Passover.
In marriage often one partner knows more about a topic than the other.
Perhaps each of you could google one of these and update the other.
Learn from each other.

~Parenting Pointers~


April 22 is Earth Day. (https://www.earthday.org/planet-vs-plastics/)
Take stock of what your family already recycles (paper, plastic, cans…)
Good! Can you add one more thing to recycle?
Better yet, commit to avoid buying something
that needs recycling, especially plastic.
